Ghost stories...at a distance The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park |
|||||
| Sat, May 5, 07 7:30 PM | ajpeelen | Female | 40-49 | Domestic Tourist(s) | Family With Children | |
| Our guide was pleasant enough, and very informative/entertaining, but we had expected to actually be able to enter some of the "haunted haunts," in hopes of feeling a sudden chill or catching a glimpse of something in the corner of our perifery.... Much to our disappointment, though, our tour was limited to ghost stories told on the sidewalk. While they were wonderful stories, the total atmosphere of the experience amounted to a somewhat less than hair-raising walk under the relative safety of the street lights and palmettos. | ||||||

Too canned... The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park |
|||||

| After being left behind with four other people due to bad description of the location to meet (two fountains in the park), the tour guide just didn't seem to be too enthused once we caught. The stories were delivered half-heartedly at best. Then at the end after being turned around several times in a strange city, in the dark, the tour leader seemed utterly shocked that we might need directions back to where we started (thank goodness for the map we had). I am staying neutral because maybe one of the other tour guides would be better. | ||||||

| This was a great opportunity for a first timer to Charleston to get a brief history of the city while hearing some interesting and entertaining ghost stories. The stories our guide told were light-hearted for the most part. The walk was long enough to stop at several historic landmarks, but short enough that we weren't too exhausted to head to dinner afterwards. We would recommend this tour to others. | ||||||

Could be better The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park |

| It was a fun trip, but instead of saying all of this happened "in there", it would be nice if we could actually go into those places. Otherwise, it was a good experience. | ||||||

A Nice Walk...through parking lots. The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park |
|||||
| Fri, Apr 27, 07 7:30 PM | flograce | Female | 50-59 | Domestic Tourist(s) | Family Without Children | |
| This ghost tour was touted on the flyer as being the best in Charleston. Instead, it was a long, boring walk full of twice-told tales. The tour guide was a very nice guy but soft-spoken and tentative. We learned we were barred from residential areas and therefore paused in a lot of parking lots to hear the story of something that happened blocks from us. The tour guide provided no added value to the telling of a ghost story, seemed to tell it word for word from the book, and used vocabulary that the average tourist probably failed to grasp. I would have preferred a little more entertaining, a little less scholarly. We didn't hear, as promised on the website -- which I later accessed -- what has since happened to the handlers of the film purported to have captured a ghost in a graveyard. That would have provided added value. Everyone in my family was disappointed. And unless it was in fine print, the flyer didn't mention AAA, AARP, etc., discounts as I later saw advertised on the website. Thank goodness the weather was accommodating. | ||||||

Lacking The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park |

| The tour was shorter than 80 minutes and when asked about the white ghost picture in front of a grave that is on your brouchure, the guide said that is not this tour. I have taken your tour before and it told the story of the ghost on the cover before. | ||||||

informative but not delivered well The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park |

| Hi - The guy who gave the tour is a young guy and was talking and walking way too fast for some of the older ladies in the group who had also enjoyed some after dinner drinks apparently. He didn't really have a great storytelling talent...spoke with the rapidity and patter of a used car salesman actually. There's an art to building suspense and tension with tempo and dramatic pause in the kind of tales he was telling. He needs to listen to really good storytellers and hear more than just the story. Had a feeling he was rushing through it to be done with it. He was a nice enough guy and the information itself was interesting. | ||||||

I was disappointed. The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park |

| I had heard good things about the ghost tours given in Charleston from other friends and family members-they all recomended we give it a try. Our tour guide took us on a fairly fast pace for some distance before he stopped and gave a few facts about the spot we stopped. He was a nice young man, but not much of a guide. In total, we did much more walking and very little ghost talking. We stopped maybe 5 times for a very few minutes each time. The guide did not even take us back to the fountain where we had started the tour. (Remember, we are not Charleston natives and are not familiar with the city in the dark!) This is what I had expected: A slower walk with interesting ghost or strange history tidbits. I expected to be taken at least in sight of where the tour originally started. I know these are just for entertainment, but I feel ours was not entertaining enough and would not recomend it or go on another. | ||||||

| The tour provided a great lesson in history about Charleston with some spooky elements. I expected some tour guide trying the scare us to death, but instead was pleasantly surprised. I felt like we got some "inside information" on some of the histoery that only a local would know about. | ||||||

Stay Away from this Tour The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park |
|||||
| Tue, Apr 17, 07 7:30 PM | helenbbbbb | Female | 50-59 | Domestic Tourist(s) | Family Without Children | |
| Since I have been on Ghost Tours before, I was quite excited to give this one a try. Our family of five adults were in a small group with three other tourists. (all elderly women). Our tour guide met us at the appropiate time. I will highlight the issues with the tour: 1. He spoke too low 2. He was NOT a storyteller and made the stories so boring, two people in our group wanted to leave. 3. His mannerisms were staged, yet not theatrical, so it came off as silly. 4. He literally stopped in mid-sentence to stare at a girl as she walked by, and then after several uncomfortable seconds looked back at us and said, "Well..." 5. We stood in several parking lots for our "stories" 6. One parking lot was grimy and rather scary and not in the ghostly sense. 7. We did a lot of walking and some of the elderly people were quite tired. If we were going to stand in parking lots, why didn'e he just allow us to sit at the waterfront. 8. We really never got the feel of Charleston or it's ghosts. He'd stand at a corner and say well way over there somewhere there was this ghost, etc. 9. Basically it was amaturist, and dull. 10. It was a complete waste of our money and time. | ||||||

| We enjoyed the ghost stories on the tour, and our guide seemed to be having fun too. The kids in our party, ages 4, 5 & 8, would probably have preferred a shorter ghost walk, but they remembered some of the stories days later and shared them with other people who weren't on the tour with us. | ||||||
